Fire Damage
Several months ago I was making some fire starters to use to start fires in my wood stove. I would take egg cartons and fill them up with saw dust then pour hot wax over the saw dust and then let them cool. They make great fire starters. One day I was using a glass pan to melt the wax over the stove, I had done this for years. That day I put the wax on the fire and went into the computer room and was checking my facebook page and other places. I smelled something burning and ran into the kitchen, I had forgotten about the wax, the pan was on fire and I never thought and went over to the sink and turned on the water, it was like putting water on a oil fire, the flames came up the front of me, and burned the hair on my arms,the fire had caught the curtains on fire and my kitchen cabinets on fire, I took a blanket I had near the washing machine and throwed it over the fire and put it out. I had a fire exstinguisher just feet away but didnt think about it. The picture is the damage and the other picture is after repairs. I had to repaint the walls and ceiling. My mom said did you call the fire department and my answer was I thought it wasnt that bad, that is how people get burned up in fires.
